Holy cow, so I went out to my car this morning to fetch my Illinois Mega Millions ticket. I knew the Mega ball was 43, so I look at my ticket and see I had the mega number 43. I get in my house and checked the remaining numbers, and I had 4 of the 5 white ball numbers. To sum it up, I won 10 grand this morning!

Congrats! Nothing like waking up $10,000 richer!

They really get you in on taxes. My wifes grandmother went on Ohio Cash Explosion 4 years ago and won 32,000. She only netted around 18,000.

The week before I thought I had the same fortune. I saw the numbers and knew I had 5 of them. I got real excited. Problem was when I looked on the ticket the numbers were on 3 different lines. $10,000 to 2 bucks that quick.

Nowhere in your incoherent ramblings did you come anywhere close to the answer. Thanks to you, everyone in this room is now stupider having heard you. I award you no points and may God have mercy on your soul. -Billy Madison-

Got my check, minus taxes, deposit it in the bank Saturday, teller tells me it should be available today, Tuesday, and when I checked out my statement online, it was. So I proceeded to pay two of my credit cards, one online, and another by check, I put gas in my car, and my day is rolling right along. Then I come home, ready to take my wife out to dinner, check my account to see if the online autorization had gone through, and I find the check back on hold. Now my checking balance is negative, I am furious, so I call the bank to find out WTF is going on, and scream at the lady at the other end. I ended up talking with her supervisor, and he tells me that Federal Regulations, blah, blah, blah, and that they needed a contact number for the bank that issued the check, again, WTF. I'm a simple man, I don't have that kind of information.

Well, I won an autographed copy of Carrie Underwoods latest CD! I told my story on the "Donate Life" site when they asked the first 20 respondants to tell why they thought being an organ donor is important to them.
